I went outside tonight to shut the coop and heard "snoring". I went in to investigate and one of my hens had this weird breathing, (see link). I brought her inside in a temporary pen away from the others, (none of them were sounding this way) and did a thorough look over. Her eyes are bright, colour is nice and red, no discharge from nose, eyes, mouth. However, when palpating the throat and crop, she would cough. She is open mouth breathing, and almost sounds congested. Her attitude seems bright and alert, she doesn't seem lethargic. Was happily scratching around her temporary pen like she does before laying an egg. I am pretty sure she just has a cold, but I wondered if there is something I can do for her to clear up her congestion or make her well?
